Definitions
- the present invention relates to a molding material for fuel parts, particularly a molding material for fuel parts of automobiles, and a fuel part using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a molding material for fuel parts and a fuel part, ensuring excellent fuel barrier property and low water absorption.
- a polyamide resin has excellent mechanical performance, and therefore is widely used as an injection molding material for automobile or electrical/electronic parts and further as a packaging material for food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and electronic parts.
- a high barrier property against fuel is required of the parts used in the periphery of fuel (gasoline), such as fuel tank, fuel tube, quick connector, canister and valve, but the fact is that the fuel barrier property of a general-purpose polyamide such as nylon 6 and nylon 66 is insufficient.
- fuel gasoline
- a general-purpose polyamide such as nylon 6 and nylon 66
- addition of biomass-derived ethanol or the like to gasoline enables reduction in the amount of the fossil fuel used, as well as in the emission of carbon dioxide, and therefore studies are being made on use of an ethanol-containing fuel.
- nylon 6, nylon 66 and the like are poor in their barrier property against alcohols, and a material more enhanced in barrier performance is in demand. Also, nylon 6 and nylon 66 have a high water absorption rate and are insufficient in dimensional stability, and thus their use is permitted only in limited parts.
- PA6T a semi-aromatic polyamide using, as the main component, a polyamide composed of terephthalic acid and hexamethylenediamine
- PA6T has a melting point in the vicinity of 370° C., exceeding the decomposition temperature of the polymer and can be hardly used in practice because of its difficulty of melt polymerization and melt molding.
- this polyamide is actually used as a composition whose melting point is lowered to a practically usable temperature region, i.e. from approximately 280 to 320° C., by copolymerizing from 30 to 40 mol % of a dicarboxylic acid component such as adipic acid and isophthalic acid or an aliphatic polyamide such as nylon 6.
- a dicarboxylic acid component such as adipic acid and isophthalic acid
- an aliphatic polyamide such as nylon 6.
- Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kohyo) No. 5-506466 discloses a polyamide having a polyamide bond unit where the dicarboxylic acid unit is oxalic acid and the diamine unit is an aliphatic diamine having a carbon number of 6 to 12 and/or an aromatic diamine having a carbon number of 6 to 14.
- oxygen permeability this related publication indicates that the oxygen permeability is lower in a high humidity region than in a low humidity region, which is useful in oxygen barrier usage, but there is neither description of the application to fuel parts nor suggestion that excellent performance is exerted particularly in terms of fuel barrier property.
- the polymer is disadvantageously obtained only in a low molecular form, with the result that a tough molded body cannot be formed.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a molding material for fuel parts (particularly a molding material for fuel parts of automobiles) and a fuel part, ensuring excellent fuel barrier property against not only gasoline fuel, but also an alcohol mixed fuel and low water absorption, and which cannot be achieved by conventional techniques.
- a molding material for fuel parts and a fuel part comprising a polyamide containing an oxamide bond unit, preferably an oxamide bond unit represented by —NH—R—NHC( ⁇ O)( ⁇ O)— [wherein R is an alkylene having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms and/or R is an arylene having from 6 to 14 carbon atoms].
- the polyamide for use in the present invention is a polyamide resin where the dicarboxylic acid component is oxalic acid and the diamine component is an alkylene having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms and/or an arylene having from 6 to 14 carbon atoms.
- an oxalic acid diester is used, which is not particularly limited as long as it has reactivity with an amino group, and examples thereof include an oxalic acid diester of an aliphatic monohydric alcohol, such as dimethyl oxalate, diethyl oxalate, di-n-(or i-)propyl oxalate and di-n-(or i- or tert-)butyl oxalate, an oxalic acid diester of an alicyclic alcohol, such as dicyclohexyl oxalate, and an oxalic acid diester of an aromatic alcohol, such as diphenyl oxalate.
- an oxalic acid diester of an aliphatic monohydric alcohol such as dimethyl oxalate, diethyl oxalate, di-n-(or i-)propyl oxalate and di-n-(or i- or tert-)butyl
- an oxalic acid diester of an aliphatic monohydric alcohol having more than 3 carbon atoms an oxalic acid diester of an alicyclic alcohol, and an oxalic acid diester of an aromatic alcohol are preferred, and dibutyl oxalate and diphenyl oxalate are particularly preferred.
- alkylenediamine component having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms examples include a linear aliphatic alkylenediamine such as 1,6-hexamethylenediamine, 1,7-heptane-diamine, 1,8-octanediamine, 1,9-nonanediamine, 1,10-decanediamine, 1,11-undecanediamine and 1,12-dodecanediamine; and a branched chain aliphatic alkylene diamine such as 1-butyl-1,2-ethanediamine, 1,1-dimethyl-1,4-butanediamine, 1-ethyl-1,4-butanediamine, 1,2-dimethyl-1,4-butanediamine, 1,3-dimethyl-1,4-butanediamine, 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-butanediamine, 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-butanediamine, 2-methyl-1,5-pentanediamine, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediamine, 2,5-dimethyl-1,6
- 1,6-hexamethylenediamine, 1,8-octanediamine, 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine, 1,9-nonanediamine, 1,10-decanediamine, 1,11-undecanediamine and 1,12-dodecanediamine are preferred, and hexamethylenediamine, 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine are more preferred.
- diamines i.e. 1,-6-hexamethylenediamine, 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine, in combination.

Abstract
A molding material for fuel parts (particularly a molding material for fuel parts of automobiles), ensuring excellent fuel barrier property against not only gasoline fuel, but also an alcohol mixed fuel, is provided. A molding material for fuel parts and a fuel part, comprising a polyamide containing an oxamide bond unit represented by —NH—R—NHC(═O)C(═O)—.
Description
- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-081233, filed on Mar. 27, 2007, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a molding material for fuel parts, particularly a molding material for fuel parts of automobiles, and a fuel part using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a molding material for fuel parts and a fuel part, ensuring excellent fuel barrier property and low water absorption.
- A polyamide resin has excellent mechanical performance, and therefore is widely used as an injection molding material for automobile or electrical/electronic parts and further as a packaging material for food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and electronic parts. A high barrier property against fuel is required of the parts used in the periphery of fuel (gasoline), such as fuel tank, fuel tube, quick connector, canister and valve, but the fact is that the fuel barrier property of a general-purpose polyamide such as nylon 6 and nylon 66 is insufficient. Furthermore, addition of biomass-derived ethanol or the like to gasoline enables reduction in the amount of the fossil fuel used, as well as in the emission of carbon dioxide, and therefore studies are being made on use of an ethanol-containing fuel. In this regard, nylon 6, nylon 66 and the like are poor in their barrier property against alcohols, and a material more enhanced in barrier performance is in demand. Also, nylon 6 and nylon 66 have a high water absorption rate and are insufficient in dimensional stability, and thus their use is permitted only in limited parts.
- For such customer needs, various semi-aromatic polyamides mainly composed of terephthalic acid and hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) have been proposed, and some have been put into practical use. In Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) Nos. 3-7761 and 4-239531, a semi-aromatic polyamide using, as the main component, a polyamide composed of terephthalic acid and hexamethylenediamine (hereinafter simply referred to as “PA6T”) is disclosed as being usable for automobile parts. However, PA6T has a melting point in the vicinity of 370° C., exceeding the decomposition temperature of the polymer and can be hardly used in practice because of its difficulty of melt polymerization and melt molding. Accordingly, at present, this polyamide is actually used as a composition whose melting point is lowered to a practically usable temperature region, i.e. from approximately 280 to 320° C., by copolymerizing from 30 to 40 mol % of a dicarboxylic acid component such as adipic acid and isophthalic acid or an aliphatic polyamide such as nylon 6. In these related art publications, compared with the conventional aliphatic polyamide, water absorption is somewhat improved by virtue of introduction of an aromatic group, but still fails to reach a level of substantial solution of the problem. Furthermore, there is no suggestion that the composition exhibits excellent fuel barrier property.
- Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kohyo) No. 5-506466 (WO91/13113) discloses a polyamide having a polyamide bond unit where the dicarboxylic acid unit is oxalic acid and the diamine unit is an aliphatic diamine having a carbon number of 6 to 12 and/or an aromatic diamine having a carbon number of 6 to 14. With respect to oxygen permeability, this related publication indicates that the oxygen permeability is lower in a high humidity region than in a low humidity region, which is useful in oxygen barrier usage, but there is neither description of the application to fuel parts nor suggestion that excellent performance is exerted particularly in terms of fuel barrier property. Also, the polymer is disadvantageously obtained only in a low molecular form, with the result that a tough molded body cannot be formed.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a molding material for fuel parts (particularly a molding material for fuel parts of automobiles) and a fuel part, ensuring excellent fuel barrier property against not only gasoline fuel, but also an alcohol mixed fuel and low water absorption, and which cannot be achieved by conventional techniques.
- As a result of intensive studies to solve these problems, the present inventors have found that the above-described object can be attained by a molding material for fuel parts and a fuel part, comprising a polyamide containing an oxamide bond unit, preferably an oxamide bond unit represented by —NH—R—NHC(═O)(═O)— [wherein R is an alkylene having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms and/or R is an arylene having from 6 to 14 carbon atoms].
- The polyamide for use in the present invention is a polyamide resin where the dicarboxylic acid component is oxalic acid and the diamine component is an alkylene having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms and/or an arylene having from 6 to 14 carbon atoms.

- Also, it is preferred to use three kinds of diamines, i.e. 1,-6-hexamethylenediamine, 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine, in combination.
- Examples of the arylenediamine component having from 6 to 14 carbon atoms include an aromatic diamine such as p-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, p-xylylenediamine, m-xylylenediamine, 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane, 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfone and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether.

- Polyamide 92 is obtained by using an oxalic acid or/and an oxalic acid diester as the dicarboxylic acid component and using 1,9-nonanediamine or/and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine as the diamine component.

- The polyamide resin for use in the present invention can be produced using an arbitrary method known as a method for producing a polyamide. For example, the polyamide resin can be produced by polycondensation utilizing a solution polycondensation method, an interfacial polycondensation method, a melt polycondensation method or a solid phase polycondensation method. According to studies by the present inventors, the polyamide resin can be obtained by batchwise or continuously polycondensation-reacting a diamine and an oxalic acid diester. More specifically, as illustrated in the following operation, (i) a pre-poly-condensation step and (ii) a post-polycondensation step are preferably performed in this order.
- The inside of a reaction vessel is replaced with nitrogen, and then a diamine (diamine component) and an oxalic acid diester (oxalic acid source) are mixed. At the mixing, a solvent in which both the diamine and the oxalic acid diester are soluble may be used. The solvent in which both the diamine component and the oxalic acid source are soluble is not particularly limited but, for example, toluene, xylene, trichlorobenzene, phenol or trifluoroethanol may be used. In particular, toluene may be preferably used. For example, a toluene solution having dissolved therein a diamine is heated at 50° C., and an oxalic diester is added thereto. At this time, the charging ratio of the oxalic acid diester and the diamine is, in terms of oxalic acid/diester diamine, from 0.8 to 1.5 (by mol), preferably from 0.91 to 1.1 (by mol), more preferably from 0.99 to 1.01 (by mol).
- While stirring and/or nitrogen bubbling in the reaction vessel after charging, the temperature is raised under atmospheric pressure. The reaction temperature is preferably controlled such that the end-point temperature becomes from 80 to 150° C., more preferably from 100 to 140° C. The reaction time at the end-point temperature is from 3 to 6 hours.
- In order to further increase the molecular weight, the polymerization product produced in the pre-polycondensation step is gradually heated in the reaction vessel under atmospheric pressure. In the temperature rise process, the temperature is raised finally to the range of 220 to 300° C. from the end-point temperature of the pre-polycondensation step, i.e. a temperature of 80 to 150° C. The reaction is preferably performed by holding the temperature above for 1 to 8 hours, preferably from 2 to 6 hours, including the temperature rise time. Furthermore, in the post-polymerization step, polymerization under reduced pressure may also be performed, if desired. In the case of performing polymerization under reduced pressure, the ultimate pressure is preferably from less than 0.1 MPa to 13.3 Pa.
- At the production of the polyamide, for example, phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, hypophosphorous acid, or a salt or ester thereof may be used as the catalyst. Specific examples thereof include a metal salt such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, vanadium, calcium, zinc, cobalt, manganese, tin, tungsten, germanium, titanium and antimony salts, an ammonium salt, an ethyl ester, an isopropyl ester, a butyl ester, a hexyl ester, an isodecyl ester, an octadecyl ester, a decyl ester, a stearyl ester and a phenyl ester.

If ηr is less than 1.8, the molded product becomes brittle and its physical properties deteriorate, whereas if ηr exceeds 6.0, a high melt viscosity results to degrade the molding processability.
- In the polyamide resin obtained by the present invention, other dicarboxylic acid components can be mixed within a range not impairing the effects of the present invention.

At the polycondensation reaction, one of these dicarboxylic acids may be added alone, or an arbitrary mixture thereof may be added.
